It was. It was the best of times... I need to wash my hair

As some of you may recall while filming season 2 of Daphne Dishes for the Food Network ( Oh, Please food god let their be a season 3, pls, pls pls) I was hit with a bowel tornado. As I made delicious food that I eventually couldn’t swallow it was found that I had C-diff. A perfect storm of too many antibiotics and picking a germ that KILLED the good bacteria in my gut. It lead to some misadventures like getting locked in a bathroom at UCLA hospital.

you would never know, but this was the day it hit. Filming Daphne Dishes at Santa Monica Pier “Food that scare you”

So, 3 rounds of medication later I’m about to set sail ( fly) to Italy. Again, I prayed, “Please let me eat in Italy, pls, pls, pls) Maybe it was the meds, the chinese herb tea, the acupuncture, the begging, the mediterranean heat, but I did well. I did not need to rush to the Toilet, I did not have super grinding pain. I had some pain with beef, cheese and more pain with raw vegi’s.

So, lucky me I enjoyed the trip. Now, when I come back I see the specialist I had booked months ago. He is a big booster of the fecal transplant. So, get this. A company has monetized crap. It goes and finds the best crap. Tests it for bad…stuff.. then freezes it. So if I were to get this done, if the C-diff returns, I would have a colonoscopy and this ice cube of crap would be put deep into my intestine. It is said to work very well.

In October this same company has a new pill coming out basically full of crap. I would have to go to the doctors office, take 30 pills with lots of water. Then come back the next day and do it again. So, swallow someone’s doo, or have it put in my back side.

For, now I don’t have to decide as I’m mending. (pls,pls, pls)

By the way, all those who tell you to lose weight by not eating carbs? Bread was virtually the only thing I could eat with C-diff for weeks. I lost 10 lbs.my diet since I got sick and I’ve I knew that was … crap.
